Property details

Wake up to wide-open mountain views, spend afternoons soaking in the hot tub beneath crisp alpine air, and end your evenings gathered around the firepit as the sky turns gold. At Summit Ember, the experience is as memorable as the setting—a spacious mountain home designed for connection, comfort, and a little friendly competition. Conveniently located just minutes from Mission Hospital, approximately 1 mile away, this stay is especially practical for traveling medical professionals, families visiting loved ones, or groups looking for a peaceful home base close to town. The heart of the home is an open-concept living space where everyone can come together with ease. A large sectional faces the stone fireplace and oversized TV, creating the perfect backdrop for movie nights or cozy mornings with coffee. Just steps away, the dining table seats 10 comfortably—ideal for celebratory dinners, holiday meals, or takeout after a day exploring the mountains. The full kitchen comes stocked with all the essentials, while a queen sleeper sofa downstairs adds extra flexibility for larger groups. When it’s time to play, this home delivers. Challenge your group to foosball or ping-pong, gather around the piano for a singalong, or fire up the BBQ for an easy outdoor dinner. Step outside to the hot tub for a soak under the stars, or circle up around the firepit with drinks and stories as the mountain air cools around you. Each of the five bedrooms features a king bed, offering privacy and comfort for up to 12 guests. The primary suite includes a private ensuite with a separate shower and jacuzzi tub—a quiet retreat at the end of the day. Four additional king bedrooms provide restful accommodations, while the home’s three additional full bathrooms help ensure smooth mornings for everyone. The location makes it easy to enjoy both convenience and mountain beauty. You’re a short drive from Downtown Waynesville, where local restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and boutique shopping bring small-town charm to every outing. Lake Junaluska is also nearby, offering scenic walking trails, kayaking, peaceful water views, and mountain backdrops, while the Blue Ridge Parkway and surrounding hiking areas put even more outdoor adventure within reach. For those traveling in, Asheville Regional Airport is approximately 40–45 minutes away, making arrivals and departures simple while still allowing you to enjoy a tucked-away mountain setting provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. An exciting yet laid-back escape among the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville is a unique blend of outdoor adventure, exciting entertainment, and incredible local cuisine. Explore stunning views from bike or horseback, or stroll around the buzzing art district filled with breweries, boutiques, and venues. Cool breezes, historic architecture, and more — you can have it all in Asheville.

Beautiful view from the back of the home, with big windows showcasing the mountains. Nice big open floorplan with plenty of room for all the families. The downstairs area was perfect for the kids to have their own space. Lived that all rooms had king size beds! Really enjoyed our stay, thank you.

The house was beautiful and our family had a great time celebrating my mom's 80th birthday. It was close to town, but very quiet and peaceful.
